Book Overview
A reading of the World War II combat film. Discussing over 1000 movies, Jeanine Basinger covers in-depth the key examples of the genre and uses them to define the meaning of genre itself. From Bataan to Battleground to The Dirty Dozen to Saving Private Ryan, the work traces the evolution of the combat genre, as its recurring characters, plots and events are used and reused over time. There is also a section outlining what happens when women replace men in combat and when the subject is treated as comedy. First published in 1986, this updated and expanded edition contains a new introduction, a new chapter on Saving Private Ryan, and an updated filmography.
